12 ounce bottle courtesy of dankman. Thanks! Pours a clear copper color with a medium-large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is strong citrus hops with some bready malts. Taste is hops... citrus, leafy and minty, with toasted malts. Medium bodied, well balanced.

Pours a hazy orange with thin head. Aroma is sweet malt and some citrus hops. Piney hop flavor with some subtle biscuit notes. Finish is clean and dry with some lingering bitterness.

This beer reminds me a lot of Fat Tire. It has the same fresh flavor that comes in a good ale but I don’t think it tastes like a typical IPA. Not quite as much hoppy flavor as some IPA’s, instead more of a balance between the malt and hops. Overall very good beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber with an average off-white head that lasts throughout. Fair lacing. The aroma is citrus and floral hops. Nice grapefruity hop taste balanced by the malt. Bitter, grassy finish. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Tasty pale ale.

One of my favorite IPA’s. has enough maltiness to be tasted through the hops.

pretty good ipa, has a subtle citruy/pine presence with a mild amount of hops, decent body, and easy drinking.

bottle - Pours copper with a one finger head and an aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. The moderately bitter flavor has good grapefruit notes and a nice malt balance. IPA, huh? I thought it was an American Pale. It’s good either way, but the flavor profile had me thinking really good APA.
